Approximately
5 months since the release of Windows Developer Preview 8 September 2011 and,
finally today Microsoft officially released Windows 8 Consumer Preview. The
latest release is not the final version of Windows 8, but still a preview
version. This is a free preview version of the final version later when it must
pay. Judging from its name, Windows 8 Consumer Preview mean this version can be
enjoyed by the general public (consumers). Consumer version of Preview is
claimed there are more than 100 thousand changes compared Developer Preview
version. Well, yes quite a lot too. And I saw also the look of Windows 8

French, German and Japanese. To download the file sizes are not much different

Myself also in
the process of downloading Windows 8 Consumer Preview 32-bit, the size is
somewhat piecemeal, still 6 hours away. But it seems will be continued tomorrow
because I get brandwith Smartfren 1 GB per day.

Microsoft Sites.

File download

managed to download Windows 8 Consumer Preview this should not be directly
